Thanks Tony! He's been a good brother too, that's why he's getting the watch :) [nt]

I now have an answer for if ever Nicolas, Bill, Blomman, Nilo, Robin, or anyone else...
... starts a thread titled, “What is your most satisfying watch buying experience?” For me, without a doubt, it would be buying this beauty! Not because it’s the flavor of the month or that it’s difficult to get, but because I bought it as a surprise gift...
Kamy, here is your big brother speaking. ;)
Bravo, for the kind gesture, and for that Daytona. My most satisfying watch buying experience? Tough to say. Probably two of them: 1/ An AD for Ulysse Nardin, in Paris, some 12 years ago, who called me to show me a freshly landed Sonata. I went to his sho...
I'm honored Nicolas... I'll start saving right away ;)
Your stories are great, especially since it sounds like both purchases were made with the certainty of love at first sight. I learned the hard way never to buy anything unless I was 100% sure and in love. That lesson has been sitting in my safe for the pa...
Wow Nico...
that seems to be the time when AD understands customer, his passion & had the resilience to build trust rather to make short term business gains ! Truly great buying experience!!
Bravo Kamy!
Both for the picture and the gesture One of great satisfactions and joys of life is giving Yours D
For me
It was researching & picking up a watch for both my Sons. One is a Purist - hand wound & the other, prefers a blue dial. Ultimately & surprisingly, it was Omega - I started a small journey with an Omega, as a first, many years ago. My Father's (RIP) f...
We have a lot in common... I started my journey with an Omega Speedmaster and my father's first precious watch was an Omega also.
Thanks for sharing. Best regards, Kamy
Beautiful photo . . .
. . . of a stunning watch. Wonderful gesture to your brother. M4
That is a wonderful gift for a brother.
Having someone so meaningful to you must give you great pleasure.
What I love is how much more prominent the Chromalight is in the reflection.
Thanks for the complement Joepny!
Superb !
As for my best experience , just coming in a big watch store in Paris and asked ( without hope , they were very rare in those times) " have you the gmt BLNR ? And by chance they just called the first client on the list and he didn't catch it . So visa car...
Very cool shot!
Really like how the lume shows stronger in the reflection Sure your brother is truly chuffed with it - a great present!
The stronger Chromalight in the reflection was totally by design! ;)
I've had the watch for over a month and since my brother and I live is different countries i have no idea when I'll be able to give it to him. But it's such sweet torture looking at it everyday Cheers, Kamy
Definitely the nicest looking photo...........
That I have seen of the new Daytona yet, you are one good brother! Tony
Thanks for the topic, and even though I can not.....
....keep up with the Nicholas, Bloman, Nilo etc. of this blog, I dare to respond as follows: In my case I had a lot of good experiences, hardly any disappointment. But in the end, particularly if you are into more expensive vintage watches, you buy the se...
There is great joy in giving. Bravo for such a kind gesture.
As for one of many great experiences in buying watches. For me the Panerai 203 which was the one with the restored Angelus movent. You had to be one of the lucky one to be selected by the CEO to get one. I got my call from Chad Panerai BH and i could not ...
Your story brought back some good memories for me...
I used to work at 20th Century Fox in Century City and sometimes I would cut through BH and "occasionally" would stop by the Panerai boutique Thanks for sharing Bill... the 203 is a grail for many! Regards, Kamy
Fantastic Kamy!
a greater joy to give than to receive. Great shot too! And wow the new Daytona ceramic! Your brother is a blessed man All my watch purchases have been special but indeed the most special ones are probably the ones I got for my wife and mom Cheers Robin
